To Be Them

by miyame-chan

Let's face it: there's a tiny part in us that wants to be accepted into their group. Or even better, be just like them. The question is, will you be able to handle it? Everyone thinks that it'll be easy being them, but it isn't. Come take a peek and see what it's like to be in their world.

1. Popular

Popular

It's hard to be popular.

Make one mistake, you're already a topic just waiting to be circulated in the rumor mill.

("OMG, did you hear? Massie has a crush on Cam but he prefers Claire?")

Even those petty things everyone commits would become a great deal once it happens to you.

If you trip in front of everyone, their eyes are on you. Massie, you better not trip again if you want to outrun those pretty little gossips, or else they might catch up to you.

What's sad is that when she wants to do something that's truly her, she can't. Simply because she's afraid she'd be judged. And that's the thing, the whole world's watching (or at least the whole school, because for now, that's what Massie considers as "the whole world").

Massie wants to keep up that image, you know?

Because these days, everything is about the right—or rather, the expected—image. And her expected image right now is "popular."

Only God knows how much she's starting to hate this image.

I know, I know. I haven't updated my other stories, but don't worry, this drabble collection will be just a shorty. I've already got the next chapter written, so expect an update tomorrow. Hey, who knows? There might be a daily update for this one. :)

Any comments, suggestions, or violent reactions? If so, you know what to do.
